Makeup: inspired by Chinese Opera

Traditional Chinese Opera has very special stage make up.
JingJu (京劇), that is the Opera in Northern part of China, uses LianPu (臉譜), a.k.a. face mask to represent different personalities of the characters.
In general, RED stands for loyal, brave and strong.
Black stands for direct and fierce.
White for wicked and evil.
Milky white for proud.
Grey for aged heroes.
Purple for smart.
Gold for gods or the spirits.
(translation might be wrong, am not an opera expert, but you get the rough picture.. right?)

My fierce look was inspired by several different characters, and i mainly used Red, Black and White.
I added a little twist to the look with the JC on my forehead... (that could stand for JaCqueline :P)
